Jake

I know this isn't the right place to post this, but I'm going to tell a Jake story. My son has seizures and one summer probably 4 years ago, he was outdoors riding his scooter and ended up getting too hot and having a seizure. He was a few houses up from where we live laying on the sidewalk with Jake the dog laying right there beside him like he was protecting him. Another time I was sick and laying on the couch - Jake was right beside the couch watching over me to make sure I was OK. I've known for quite awhile that he should probably be somewhere where he can get a lot of attention, but what I've wrote about above has made the decision very hard to make.

Can you link to what post you're talking about? The only post I could find was THIS POST. Is Jake in danger? Is he still being attacked?

Other news, I gave my dog Jake to an agency who puts dogs and cats up for adoption. I was going to be gone for 10 days over Christmas and thought instead of taking him to the vet for boarding, that was a good time to give him away. I'm gone so much and he sometimes doesn't get the attention he needs or wants. I feel bad and/or guilty though. Jake was a birthday present for my son when he turned 13. Now he hasn't lived at home for 3 years, but I still had Jake. He is a good dog - very loyal. Hi sonly bad point is he likes to jump on people. I think that comes from not getting attention though. It's so hard to give up animals, isn't it? Sometimes, I wonder why we have them to begin with, because it breaks your heart when something happens to them.

Oh. Thanks Ginger's mom. Poor guy must be wondering what's going on. I hope everything works out in Jake's best interest... Paws crossed & prayers said that he gets for a good truly furever home. Hopefully someone out there is looking for an older dog & not just Christmas puppies.

Oh sorry everyone - I posted the message abt. Jake on both Cat General & Dog General. Part of te reason I made the decision to give him away is because I didn't want him to be attacked anymore. Did I mention that the neighbor dogs have came right up on my porch and attacked Jake?
Jake is in good hands - the people that have him are really animal lovers and will find a very good home for him. That doesn't mean that i haven't thought about going to get him though (several times). Thank you all for praying about him.

Yes I wopnder if he isn't wondering why I'm not coming to pick him up.
